DU, JnU switch to online classes

The University of Dhaka (DU) and Jagannath University (JnU) have decided to switch to online classes due to the prevailing heat wave gripping the country. 

According to a notice signed by DU's registrar Prabir Kumar Sarkar, issued Sunday, 100 per cent of the university's classes will be conducted online until further notice. However, pre-announced examinations will be held as per schedule. 

Meanwhile, the JnU authority has decided to conduct all classes this week online. All the examinations this week will also be rescheduled. 

This decision was taken at a meeting of the dean and the department heads held Sunday.
